I love 2112, no question about that. I remember the first time I ever heard it, and it was Earth-shattering.

But it's Hemispheres, without a doubt.

My eleven year old son used some crafty (and pretty much faultless) logic to determine that Hemispheres is my favorite song, ever, by anyone. It surprised me, because whenever he asks me what my favorite song is, I always tell him that's an impossible question for me to answer. But he's right. I suppose it is my absolute favorite.

Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres is the second best song that Rush have ever made! The only song that can beat it is The Fountain Of Lamneth.

I do love 2112 as well, it is a masterpiece, and I know every drum beat on it, and I know every word that Geddy is singing. But Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres and The Fountain Of Lamneth is just a step better somehow!

I still think part one should be included in the comparison since Hemispheres is just the second part of Cygnus X-1. Otherwise, why not just make 2112 only the finale?

It's not a comparison. I wanted to see which song was better liked. Or loved. Zumbi had started a thread with these two songs up against The Fountain of Lamneth. I wanted to see how just 2112 and Hemispheres did without the FOL. That's why I started the thread.

And I said the same thing in the other thread. To me it's all one thing.

They were released on different albums. The analogy to leaving out Grand Finale doesn't really make sense lol

That's not what I said. I said that leaving Cygnus X-1 out of a discussion of Hemispheres is like leaving everything out of 2112 BUT the finale.
